Life

When life keeps giving you lemons,
You are a **** lemon tree

Life is awful

I feel like lemons and limes
Sprinkled in sugar
The sour, covered
Soaking in the sweet salt
To become tangy

Maybe I’ll become a peach
Sugary to the pit
Dipped in honey
And brown sugar
Finally mature

Lemons

I used to hate yellow,
Then my soul turned to lemon juice
And now my lips are painted
As a new sunrise
Which changed the words I spoke.
With sour lemons slices
That attracted Bumblebees
And everything
To my lemon soul.

Karmic Food

I am feasting on this Karmic food
Because there is nothing else I'm served
What gets life's lemons and spice
Even when you've lately been nice

We are blind to our sins which we've rightly done
We only know how to visibly see others' knives and guns

Have you ever felt good about yourself
Without having harassed anyone.
If not, eat it what you've been given
Karma knows better than everyone.

Note To Self

Life throws,
a filthy shade,
a crate of lemons,
a mess unmade.

Life makes,
a sailor great,
lemonade,
a near parade.

All at once,
Once and for all,
No things remain
The same
—The sane.

here’s to the mess we made of ourselves this year. since all the best people lose a bit of sanity for felicity.

Life, Stop Throwing Citrus I Need an Apple

Path by Path
and a semblance of a man.
Apple trees grow
A garden of sin, of life
where I cannot find an apple
but I can an Orange

When life gives you
lemons make
                                               But this is an orange
Lemonade
                     But
Lemonade
                          I need
Lemonade
                        A cup of
Lemonade
                         Sugar
Lemonade
                                 And more
Lemonade
                           I need
Lemonade
                            A lemon

Lemonade.

Mint leaves glitter down
the sweating glass
of sweetly, sour lemonade.
Each sip slides past
through the slender straw
with lemons freshly made.

Rough Days

The tears uncried,
The respect left behind;
Shame visible on face
No, this is not just a phase.
Oh, the humiliation!
It cannot be borne any more.
Will the soul give up?
Can't say for sure.
It fell on me-
The thunder,
**And I got buried
For someone else's blunder.

Lemony life.

Lemons

When life throws you lemons.
Why would you make lemonade.
Did mother nature tell you too.
No.
You know what you do?
You throw those lemons back at her.
And say these words.
"I will get my own lemons."
[sigh]

Life and lemons is no pretty site is it?
